History
Completed on July 7, 2003, Noto Airport is among Japan's newest greenfield airports not constructed to replace an existing facility. Initially, All Nippon Airways (ANA) was only willing to operate one flight per day. Ishikawa Prefecture thus suggested Japan's first occupancy guarantee agreement (搭乗率保証制度), in which ANA agreed to operate two daily flights and in exchange Ishikawa Prefecture agreed to compensate ANA if occupancy fell below a set target (initially 70%) and gross ticket sales were under 200 million yen. However, the agreement also specified that if the target is exceeded, ANA must pay the excess back to Ishikawa Prefecture. So far, the agreement seems to have been mutually beneficial:
The airport's parking lot was used an evacuation site in the aftermath of the 2024 Noto earthquake. Following a temporary closure, the airport was restored to allow Self-Defense Forces flights into the field on January 11 and re-opened for commercial flights on January 27, although commercial facilities within the terminal remained closed.
In May 21, 2026, the Ishikawa Prefectural government announced that the airport is set to be nicknamed “Noto Satoyama Pokémon with You Airport” from July 7 to September 30, 2029, making it the first airport in the world to bear the Pokémon name.
